Shill Poster?

Who could this be?

 

"This is the clearest, truest explanation I have heard yet on what is actually going on. Thanks!" (in response to CI's progression of graded collectibles)

 

"I use those terribly flimsy boxes from CGC. They suck."

 

"delekkrsete, you rock - keep up the great posts!"

 

"they (sellers) have to be upbeat even in the face of the what has become a daily onslaught of bad news/lower prices"

 

"Not only is it idiotic to lay down that kind of cash for a brand new comic that isn't a key, why are people slabbing these unimportant books in the first place? 10 years from now, long after Bendis has left this title (if the book is even still being published), the book will Guide for $4 and a 9.9 copy will be worth a lot less than $460..." (on the "Ultimate Spider-man" thread)

 

"I majored in economics and minored in philosophy in college and so am far more swayed by the rational/logical arguments of Gene, ComicINvestor, and a few others on this Board than by the bleating sheep whose only retort seems to be calling people "Doom and Gloomers" and "chicken little"."

 

"when the Bronze Bubble Boys stop collecting/retire/die out no one will give a rat's about this character."

 

The last one really rung a bell, so a quick search of the entire comics message board history for the phrase "rat's " gives 5 hits - one by "Tinkerer", and four by "CI". Fess up!

Hmmm...both hidden users, the evidence mounts!

[OldGuy]

! That's to funny.

[clobberintime]

Can you do a search that way for the word "crash" - that term is so rarily used around here.

[OldGuy]

I searched the word "crash" and I think I almost "crashed" the CGC message board server.

HAHAHHAHA

 

A search on "market genius" came up with two posts:

 

CI: "Do any of you remember the market geniuses that proclaimed......."

 

Tink: "You're a real market genius, aren't you? I'll be sure to tell........"

LMFAO ROFL!

[clobberintime]

XYZ PDQ !!!

[Rickdogg]

For those that don't know:

 

LMAO= Laugh my off

LMFAO= self explanatory

ROFL=Rolling on floor laughing

I would bet that if you are over 29 like me, you have no clue what all that stands for! So thanks for the interpretations!

I'm 30 and I know those and many, many more... Here's a list of common and not-so common ones (1st google result for "rofl acronymn" by the way)...

FWIW those type of abbreviation have been around for at least the 15 years I've been using BBS's and the internet.

Alright I feel so out of date that I am no longer posting on this thread - I have been shamed! i will just find another crash thread to loiter about in.

[delekkerste]

I am trying to avoid all threads on both The Crash and shilling for the

foreseeable future. Is that a collective sigh of relief I hear?

You guys are really starting to me off. Seriously.

 

You think my attitude was bad before? You pull pinhead like this and I take out a whole new wall.

 

It's amusing that banner or one of his bum-buddies is purposefully posting these comments, then naturally makes the connection. I'm hoping Arch comes on and boots your off the board for this.

[clobberintime]

Why don't you challenge him to a wrestling match with a sack full of cash in the middle of the ring? Or you could both strip down for a pose off of most muscular shots and we the viewres could decide the winner that way!

[OldGuy]

Now that would be cool!

[BachelorOfComix]

Blame drbanner's alter ego.............the HULK!

Yeah, it's pretty sad the selling bum-buddies on the forum feel the need to invent a CI-like alter-ego and then (gasp) post their detective work on here. Thankfully we all know they couldn't find their way out of a paper bag, so the jig's up.

 

With all the attention being lavished on me, I don't know whether to feel honored or angry.

[drbanner]

So, I should take that as a "no"?
